YACHT Accuse Kohl's of Ripping Them Off Big Time

Pacific Northwest dance-rock act YACHT have accused big-box store Kohl's of ripping them off. The band posted the above image to Tumblr, depicting a Kohl's T-shirt that manages to invoke both their band logo and the lyrics poster for their song "Shangri-La", the title track to their 2011 album on DFA. As YACHT notes: "#corporatemakeover." Also: "#copyrightinfringement."

The band wrote on Tumblr:

Listen, we're interested in how ideas circulate through popular culture, but this "If I Can't Go To Heaven" triangle t-shirt is too much. Kohl's is a huge corporate entity that stands to make way more money off our lyrics and design than we ever will. Please share this image and let Kohl's know it's not OK to rip independent artists off this blatantly.
